$18.65

Many beekeepers prefer to use crimped wire foundations as they provide a stable guide that bees can use to build reliably straight combs and foundations.

Important things to take note of:

  • Use a deep wedge-top frame with this foundation. We recommend using wired deep frames to add to the strength and stability of combs.
  • If you plan to extract honey from combs built on crimped wire foundation, the use of additional support pins or wiring is recommended.
  • Wire hooks on the top of each sheet of foundation help keep the foundation in place when nailed between the wedge-top of a frame.

Pack of 8 sheets – Perfect for those using 8-frame hives!

Dimensions of Each Sheet:

  • 16-3/4″ long x 8-1/2″ high
  • Cell size: 5.4 mm
